Real ideology/Forum ideology

[Vosem]

Your definitions of 'forum liberal' and 'forum conservative' are kind of confused and muddled, and very open to interpretation; if you want useful data, BRTD, it might be better to track real-life political opinions with a single, specific forum issue (I recall that at some point around opebo's banning, there was a poll -- possibly yours -- that correlated real-life political stance with support/opposition to opebo's ban. I don't remember the final results). Like David, I mainly agree with Torie's post, though I'm not sure it was true during the bad old days of Inks and death points and the bannings of jmf and opebo.

I did vote the way you told me to; I tend to agree with you on "forum controversies", and since you defined yourself as a forum liberal I suppose I must be one as well.
